Overview: During the recent Belmar Housing Authority meeting, the board grappled with surging costs for a weatherization project and addressed the turnover of housing units following a tenant’s passing. The weatherization initiative’s engineering estimates have unexpectedly escalated from $10,000 to $25,000, prompting discussions on alternative funding strategies. The Authority is exploring the possibility of hosting a training event in New Jersey, which would allow for a complimentary pre-inspection. If this does not occur, the board will consider contributing half of the engineering costs, with the remainder potentially covered by a partnering nonprofit organization. A conference on weatherization programs scheduled for the end of the month may provide further clarity.
